The more platinum that I invest into Alchemy the less sure I become of this statement. Even at artisan level 53 materials are becoming quite costly, which is exacerbated by the fact that I skilled my gathering long ago and have no intentions of grinding low level harvestables. Expect to pay substantial platinum, and time, in making your way to 80. A more responsible approach, and one more in line with the spirit (IMHO) of tradeskills, is to find a maxxed artisan friend or guildmate and employ their skill: you will get your poison at a substantial discount, and they will make money while helping a friend.
